Yamaha RS7000 Music Production Studio

The RS7000 is a major groove production workstation! It's sort of like Akai's
MPC-series, combining sampling and sequencing, but with an added internal synth
engine. The RS7000 is particularly suited for dance, techno, Hip Hop,
R&B, and ambient genres.

The sampler section consists of a 4MB (expandable to 64MB)
sampler (5kHz to 44.1kHz or 32kHz to 48kHz via digital option board).
You can use it to sample external sounds, re-sample the RS7000's sounds itself, or load
samples from a variety of common formats! Auto-beat slicing lets you
easily sample any loops or sounds and sync them to your sequence tempo!
All the professional sampling and editing features you'd expect
are here, and more!

The tone generator offers 62-voice polyphonic AWM2 synthesis, with over 1,000 synth sounds
and 63 drum kit sounds (all via ROM). Here you'll find the resonant
filters (6 types), advanced LFO modulation, BPM-synchronized LFO waveforms,
and more! Edits made to the internal sounds, as well as to any samples are all
stored within your sequence patterns.

The Sequencer is the real meat of the RS7000, where you make music out of the
sounds it's got and that you've put into it! It offers pattern-based recording
with 16 tracks each, and a 200,000 note-per-song capacity. Linear sequencer sequencing,
like you would do using a software sequencer like Cubase, is also supported by the RS7000.
Pattern-based sequences can be converted to the linear format as well.
Realtime, grid and step recording methods are also available. Linking patterns into
songs can be done in real time and meticulously tweaked. Total MIDI control, real-time hands on control,
18 assignable knobs and two pads, a Master effect section (with a
multi-band compressor, slicer, isolater, other DJ-style master effects), and more
make the RS7000 the most professional quality groove/loop/dance machine out there!
It has been used by Hardfloor.
